Your cooling system is extremely important in the operation of your vehicle. Either a serpentine belt or the timing belt in your car drives your water pump, circulating coolant throughout your engine. Always maintain the proper level of coolant in your automobile’s system, so it will prevent your car from overheating and ruining your engine and your day!.
Always have your coolant and other fluid levels checked when you have your oil changed.Your repair shop should inspect your engine belts for cracks or missing sections. Your car’s radiator cap should be free of corrosion and leaks in order to protect your engine from getting too hot.
Timing Belt
For those vehicles with timing belts, most manufacturers recommend service every 60,000, 90,000, 100,000 or 120,000 miles. You can't see your timing belt when you open your hood, but it's important to be aware of the manufacturer's recommended replacement, as it synchronizes the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft in your car's engine. If your car has an "interference engine", a broken belt could cause serious internal damage and expensive repairs.
Windshield Wipers
Your wipers are equally important as they can prevent a wreck just by clearing debris from your view. Replace your wipers every wet season, and if you don't garage your car they should be replaced twice a year for optimal results.
